Maybe that's so you don't get in the wrong car?

Those badges are also a PITA to clean and detail around.

What kid of wrap is that?

Why didn't you wrap the parking sensors, looks weird leaving that white? I have by center front end wrapped gloss black, along with the parking sensors and zero issues, still works.

Forget the parking sensors, his entire trunk is a different color! Looks like a 97 Accord that got rear ended and he didn’t have enough money to paint the trunk. It being a Lexus just makes it 10x worse.

Sorry, but I just don’t understand why anyone would intentionally mismatch color on their car. It looks horrible. The white parking sensors are the last thing to worry about.

Lol. It's kpmf matte metallic yellow. I didn't wrap the sensors bcuz it looked a little funky with the circles cutout. If I can get perfect circles cutout, then I'd do them. Well the lid is carbon fiber, why would u want to wrap that🤷🏽‍♂️ People love the color, definitely hard to get a good idea of it in pics. Trust me, it had to grow on me as well. In the sun it looks amazing

Correct. If your goal is to show how “expensive” your car looks, you’ve achieved exactly the opposite.

99% of people look at you and see this guy:





The other 1% is that guy. Enjoy your high fives at the gas station.

Well that logic is dumb. If that's the case I guess the carbon fiber skirts,hoods, etc are dumb because they aren't body color. Its not about showing how expensive it is. The contrast is actually nice. End of the day, I pay the loan and you don't. Doing modifications to a car to please the crowd is idiotic. I didn't want to be another white,silver, or black GS. There's a ton of them in Florida unfortunately
